The early spring is cold, and February is coming, and for this year's Yanzhou, it is just the beginning of spring.

The southeast wind actually blew, but the wind was terrible, blowing on people, with cold air that hit the bones.

Di Qing said: "Pacify the envoy, Fan Xianggong will be fine, right?" ”

finally changed his words, one Zheng Zhifu, one pacifying envoy, and the two official positions are somewhat different.

The official positions of the Song Dynasty are very speechless, and now Zheng Lang has thirteen official positions.

Zheng Lang said: "Let me ask you, why did I desperately arrest people in Hangzhou in the case of illegal salt? ”

"I don't know."

"The more people are arrested, the law does not hold the people accountable, and Your Majesty is merciful, the lighter the execution will be. So before Fan Xianggong left, I took off his court clothes and took down his official seal. One is to warn other officials not to derelict their duties in the future. The second is also to make the ministers of the DPRK and China sad Fan Yong. ”

I came to the northwest to find the truth, to clear the innocence of some officers and officials, and to see if some problems could be solved by the way.

It was not the officials who came to investigate and punish them.

Fan Yong was derelict in his duties, and it may not be good to change other officials, without the warning of the Battle of Sanchuankou.

Therefore, Zheng Lang only asked the imperial court to deal with the two dead eunuchs seriously, and the others were not implicated.

"I see, thank you for the champion."

"Don't, what a public, but your mentality is not good, public and private must be clear." Zheng Lang persuaded. Di Qing was a good general, but his strength was narrow, so he had a series of conflicts with Han Qi, and was later demoted, and like Kong Daofu, he was angry to death.

Look at how good Wang Deyong is, he was demoted, and he thanked Kong Daofu for living as happily as he wanted in the local area.

patted Di Qing on the shoulder and said, "There are still important things, you have to do it well, don't think about the rest, it's useless to think about it." ”

I can listen to Di Qing's advice, but apart from myself, other important officials, who can put Di Qing in their eyes?

"Yes."

The tombstone was erected, and there were more than a dozen big characters on it: Defend the family and defend the country, and the heroes of the fallen soldiers in Sanchuankou are immortal.

It was written by Zheng Lang, and he deliberately added strength to the penmanship.

led the rest of the Yanzhou officials to the tombstone, read the memorial text, and then bowed down for the Son of Heaven for three salutes.

It wasn't really a cry to cry and sacrifice, but looking at the countless graves on the green hills in the distance, the green mountains were speechless. Looking at the small river in front of him again, because of the repulsion of the Western Xia army several times, the men and horses were noisy, and some enemies broke the ice, and hundreds of enemies were drowned just by falling into the river.

Listening to the whimpering wind, Zheng Lang seemed to hear the mourning of the dead soul again, and his eyes gradually became wet.

It should be said that the imperial court did a good job this time, almost all the soldiers who died in battle were paid, the meritorious soldiers and the ministers who died, the family members were rewarded, and many children were also awarded official positions. Zheng Lang's grand tree monument this time, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, boosted morale.

After a long time, Zheng Lang returned to Yanzhou City, but sighed in his heart.

Fan Yong and Liu Ping can't be completely blamed, they haven't fought for a long time, and even if they are talented, they lack war experience.

You can't blame the court completely, for example, this reward, the court did better than any dynasty.

The real blame is the system of the Song Dynasty, or rather, blame Zhao Kuangyi!

Who would dare to say?

After planting the tombstone, Zheng Lang began to do business.

Open the warehouse and recruit village soldiers. But the number is only controlled within 10,000 people, and I dare not do more, otherwise Li Yuanhao will be used again.

Then put the bus.

In the second battle of Mikawaguchi, there were some gains, but compared to the losses, they were still negligible.

However, it reduced the public opinion brought about by the battle of Yuan Hao Sanchuanguchi.

Zheng Lang was afraid that Yuan Hao would come to retaliate, and Yanzhou had too few troops at this time. Sooner or later, there will be reinforcements, think about the ability of those bigwigs in the court, God knows when the reinforcements will arrive?

So rebuild the village.

Jin Mingzhai itself is the county seat, and the city wall is stronger than Yanzhou, but Li Shibin arrived at Huangdui Village, Jin Mingzhi County Chen said that he could not convince the public, although he died in battle, Jin Mingzhai was also broken by Yuan Hao. After Yuan Hao retreated, he demolished all the city walls, leaving only some broken walls.

Zheng Lang plans to shrink Jinmingzhai by one-third, and rebuild a Jinmingzhai on these broken walls.

In addition to Jinmingzhai, there are thirty-six sub-villages, which guard Jinmingzhai like satellites, which is also another origin of Li Shibin's nickname.

If there is no internal annihilation, even if Li Yuanhao leads 80,000 horses, he will not want to conquer Jinmingzhai.

Zheng Lang does not have as many subordinates as Li Shibin, and it is impossible to repair all the thirty-six villages, and he can't keep them if he can repair them. So from Yongping Village to Qiaozi Valley on the traffic artery to choose Wuzhai, and in the bridge to maintain a big village, from Qiaozi Valley to the security army to build three villages.

If 10,000 soldiers are recruited, each village can maintain nearly 1,000 troops, and each village is not far apart, so it can respond to each other.

It's a stupid way to play football, where we're not your opponents, so you turn the players into defenders and pile them up in front of the goal as a bus.

It's not about kicking football, it's about parking an oversized bus in front of Yanzhou City and the security army.

Relocating the people around the bus to the middle of the bus and the two cities can not only protect their safety and reduce the population, but also recruit some people to assist in the defense in case of emergency.

Then a large vacuum will be formed on the periphery.

This will be useful, sooner or later the imperial court will send a lot of troops to Yanzhou, and continue to build the fortress according to this bus. But these generals are all Han soldiers and their families, and it is impossible for Li Yuanhao to rebel.

Or Li Yuanhao sent the tribes over, that was just right, approaching layer by layer, eating these tribes and moving to the rear.

The formation of a vacuum also reduced the supply of Li Yuanhao's army. This country is very poor, most of the time it is half with half robbery, such as the invasion of Yanzhou, most of the logistics supply comes from the Song Dynasty, or from the Jinming Village.

The idea is very good, but it will be very dangerous to build a wall outside the city, you can refer to Zheng Lang's example in Sanchuankou. Therefore, Zheng Lang released Wang Xin, Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, and half of the troops, including all the cavalry, so that they could respond sideways.

But when the enemy arrived, the cooperation between the three of them was very critical to the command ability.

Until Jiuzhai was built, Yanzhou City and the security army could barely be called safe.

There are few troops, otherwise Zheng Lang can push Zhaiqi to the line between Luguan and Tumen at once.

The three generals led the army and a large amount of supplies to go out, and some of the grain, cloth, and copper coins were issued to the people, so that the people could participate, otherwise there would be a lack of labor. Of course, after the village is repaired, the safety of these people can also be guaranteed. Complement each other.

Then he ordered to continue to repair the walls of Yanzhou City, Juzhou, and the security army.

began to overhaul the village, but Zheng Lang spent every day in Yanzhou City.

There are too few troops, even fewer cavalry, and the current Yanzhou is like a yellow flower girl without clothes, with incomparable temptation, but she has no strength to defend.

It's time to get dressed, but it's the most dangerous thing until you put it on.

There are also two places that give Zheng Lang a headache. Anyuan Village and Saimen Village, with the bus swinging, these two villages actually swim out of the defensive circle. Topographically speaking, they are located in the northwest corner, if Li Shibin does not die, there are still so many soldiers, then it is connected with Saimen Village to form a whole line of defense, but Jinming Village has been broken, a large number of people have taken away, Anyuan Village and Saimen Village have not played a role.

They are another hero village, broken so many villages, these two villages are retained, once they are abandoned, I don't know how much turmoil they cause. Zheng Lang thought about it for several days, but he didn't figure it out, and it happened that Wang Xin and Di Qing returned to Yanzhou City together. Zheng Lang expressed this doubt.

Wang Xin and Di Qing looked at each other.

Sure enough, smart people like to do perverted things.

Di Qing once learned in Sanchuankou, in such a short period of time, there was attack, there was defense, and he even thought of using Wang Xin and Shi Ji to change defenses.

Now there is another bus parked in front of Yeonju.

They don't know the bus, it's the line of defense.

This line of defense seems to be unchanging, but they are pedestrians and know how perverted they are, and it turns out that there are countless large and small fortresses and outposts in the north of Yanzhou, which are actually a showcase. Some of the small fences are thin, and only a few dozen people are stationed inside. There are not many war horses, and the enemy is coming, and it is given to the enemy for breakfast. There are also many medium-sized villages, which are for lunch and dinner for the enemy.

However, Zheng Lang concentrated his limited forces on a line not far from the front of Yanzhou, and then to the northeast was Qingjian City and Suidezhou villages, because it was far away from Yanzhou, the troops were not damaged, and it was in Fuzhou to go up, and there was a broken army. Then from the security army down, it was Qingyang and Gyeongju, and the troops were not damaged.

Therefore, in this limited flat space, the concentration of Jiuzhai made them think of a thing - a shield. Or that kind of super thick shield.

The two of them pondered for a long time, and Wang Xin said: "Pacify the envoy, according to the general, or don't discard it, these two villages are the soldiers in front of the hard work to guard, discarded, will make the soldiers lose morale." ”

"It's up to you," Zheng Lang sighed.

I don't know if I did anything wrong, but in order to prevent it, I asked Sai'an Village and Anyuan Village to strengthen the city walls and increase their defense capabilities.

Then another 200 scouts were sent to patrol the front line to prevent accidents.

Compared with Liu Ping and Fan Yong's contempt and arrogance, Zheng Lang was very careful. Then he began to ask the court for money, Your Majesty, I have used up all the money and silk of the security army and Yanzhou City, come and support me.

The attrition of the war is extremely terrible, and if you don't come to the front line, it is difficult to understand why Zhao Zhen sued for peace with the Western Xia people, or the peace treaty signed when the Western Xia and the Khitan were fighting.

Then carefully look ahead.

At this time, there was an inexplicable guest from Yanzhou City, which made Zheng Lang laugh.

……

Zheng Lang put the bus like a year, and there are people in the capital who say that it is like a year.

The wind was blowing, February was deep, and the weather was finally starting to warm up.

Cui Xian and Huan'er also returned to the Yanji Inn.

But there was no way to do it.

Zheng Lang wrote back every other day, and the first letter was written when he went to Sanchuankou, saying that everything was safe, and the Tangut people had withdrawn, so they didn't have to worry.

Then don't worry.

As a result, only two or three days after the letter arrived, there was a rumor of the battle of Wulongchuan.

Fortunately, it was a small fierce battle, which ended in a day and a night, and then the news of a great victory came.

But Cui Xian and the others were taken aback, for other people to take credit, what credit do their husbands need?

The merit is enough, as long as the people are safe, the Jinming Village in the north of Yanzhou will be completely destroyed, today it is 3,000 or hundreds of enemies, will there be 30,000 or 40,000 enemies tomorrow?

Then I received a second letter from Zheng Lang, saying that the matter was almost over and that he was coming back.

refers to the course of the Battle of Sanchuankou, which Zheng Lang found out from beginning to end, and it was also the main reason why Zheng Lang went to Yanzhou.

Then wait, wait for many days, but the court has not yet decided who will replace her husband.

Si'er pouted and asked angrily: "Big lady, sister Xing'er, when will the official come back?" ”

How did Jiang Xinger and Cui Xian answer?

Zheng Lang, two smart students, is here, I'm afraid they won't be able to reply.

Si'er said: "Big lady, you wrote to the official, saying that the official is deceiving people. ”

Cui Xian had no choice but to say: "The imperial court has asked Han Qi to serve as the pacification envoy of Shaanxi, and the officials will come back soon." ”

"What qualifications does Han Qi have to serve as the pacification envoy of Shaanxi?" Si'er asked unconvinced.

"If the official stays in the northwest, it is very likely that he will be higher than this position, do you want to?"

"Still don't."

Cui Xian was silent for a while, and she also knew in her heart that her husband would have to go to the northwest sooner or later, but Cui Xian didn't want to.

After talking for a while, Cui Xian was also anxious, Han Qi served as a pacification envoy, and he was in the rear, but her husband was at the forefront, and the surnames of the two were different. So he called Yan Rong, she was a woman, and it was not easy to come forward, Shi Congguang was not familiar with people in the capital, so he had to let Yan Rong come forward and ask his future father-in-law.

Yan Rong came to Chen's Mansion again.

Chen Zhizhong was silent when he heard this, and said: "Don't ask me, I'm afraid your husband can't even be the emperor." ”

"Why?"

"You've been with your husband for years, haven't you?"

"It's been almost six years."

"Then think for yourself."

"Chen Xianggong, I studied behind closed doors during this time, and I don't know much about the outside world."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Chen Zhizhong is very optimistic about this son-in-law, his qualifications are not as good as those two San Langs, but he is loyal and honest, not like those two San Langs, who are slippery, if that is the case, Chen Zhizhong does not like it. Patiently explained the current situation.

Since the Battle of Sanchuankou, the imperial court issued many edicts, first to Shaanxi to transport Ming Ho to Dunzhou, and then in Hezhong Mansion to copy the strong men to prepare for the border, out of the treasury money 800,000 to pay Shaanxi to the military reserve, armor bow and crossbow 19,000 to the Shaanxi army. He also issued an edict to the Shaanxi Prefecture Army, and those who knew the western thief's hypocrisy and the key points of the mountains and rivers to attack the strategy were all known to themselves, and sent people to the capital. He also selected the soldiers of the city in Beijing, Huainan, and the two Zhejiang prefectures to be subordinate to the forbidden army. Not disarmament, but army expansion, redundant and redundant! If it is not changed, the number of soldiers in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty will reach nearly 1.3 million, and the forbidden army alone will be close to 900,000. Raising a forbidden army costs fifty yuan a year, not including the wear and tear of weapons and war, think about it, how much military spending will reach in a year. He also issued an edict to arrest Yuan Hao inside and outside the capital, that is, to annihilate the fine, and to reward one person with 300 yuan. Those who know but do not tell will be punished outside the law, and their wives and children will be managed by Guangnan.

Han Qi returned to the capital, talked with Zhao Zhen for a long time, and talked more about the military affairs of the northwest, Zhao Zhen was happy, so he let Han Qi be the pacification envoy of Shaanxi, and Ming Hao was the transport envoy of the Shaanxi army, and discussed border affairs with Xia Shouyun and Wang Shouzhong, and let Fu Weizhong be the deputy envoy of Shaanxi pacification, in fact, these arrangements were prepared to take over the responsibilities of Zheng Lang and Fan Yong.

But Zheng Lang asked Sun Quanbin and Wen Yanbo to escort the prisoners back to the capital, and there was a new change.

Huang Dehe's sins were so serious that he was beyond reproach and was sentenced to be cut in half.

But Zhao Zhen's verdict against Lu Shouqin has caused controversy.

After receiving Zheng Lang's report, Zhao Zhenliu was diligent in Lingnan.

Not only Lu Shouqin, but even Guo Quanquan was relegated to Lingnan. After the defeat of Sanchuankou, some people once again turned over the dereliction of duty of Guo Quanquan and Li Wei, so Guo Quanquan was demoted to Huizhou Assassin History, and Li Wei was demoted to Sanmen Baidu Prison.

It wasn't until after the defeat at Sanchuankou that the Manchu civil and military ministers realized that Zheng Lang was not vexatious last year.

However, the verdict against Lu Shouqin made many ministers dissatisfied.

This is the pattern of the court.

If Di Qing and Lu Shouqin are put together, the ministers will help Lu Shouqin speak. Wenchen is most afraid of military generals, and the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty also have some rights, such as supervising the eunuchs, or as a prison army, but the number is small, there are only about a hundred eunuchs in these years, and there are only dozens of eunuchs when they are young, even in the army, there are many restraints, so the ministers are not afraid of eunuchs.

But put the Ji Yongzhang and Lu Shouqin together, and will speak for the Ji Yongzhang, without him, the Ji Yongzhang is a genuine Jinshi background, a typical Wenchen, and Fan Yong and Ji Yongzhang can't blame Lu Shouqin for wanting to open the city and surrender, Lu Shouqin beat a rake, which also made the ministers very dissatisfied.

Ye Qingchen, Fu Bi and others opened fire one after another.

not only attacked Zhao Zhen's improper execution, but also impeached Lu Shouqin's son Lu Zhaoxu, and the drum chamberlain lobbied for Lu Shouqin, shaking the harem and the sacred heart.

Ye Qingchen said that he supported the army and strengthened himself, could not wait and see, indulged in thieves, broke a county and captured two generals, did not poke the big crime, and covered up his mistakes, and played falsely, if he did not press it, what crime should not be tolerated!

Fu Bi said that Lu Huang is a lieutenant official, and he is stinging and slandering people...... Attached to it, prison must not be completed.

Then many ministers impeached Zhao Zhen for unfairness, and finally rose to the height of national security.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to cut Lu Shouqin in half.

Zheng Lang just checked and said that he must be punished severely, but he did not say how to deal with it, but it must be beheaded. They will all surrender the city, and if they don't kill anyone, who will kill them?

But Zheng Lang didn't need to say it, he expected someone to say it.

The ministers did not give up, and continued to impeach Lu Shouqin's son Lu Zhaoxu, Zhao Zhen was so noisy by the ministers that he had a headache, so he had to demote Lu Zhaoxu to Jiangnan.

And then there's Fan Yong.

In general, Zheng Lang and his entourage this time made a cadre of Wenchen very fond of it, except for the impeachment of Yang Kai, which made some people unhappy, and other aspects made the ministers of the DPRK and China happy. There are so many soldiers who have died, and not many people have been impeached, including Fan Yong, who said the bad ones and also said the merits.

But they didn't know that Zheng Lang didn't say a word, no matter which minister he changed, he might not do better than Fan Yong.

So he lowered the fan Yongzhi'an Prefecture, and deployed Zhao Zhen as the deputy capital of Huanqing to deploy Zhihuanzhou as the deputy deployment of Yanyan Prefecture to the deputy deployment of Yanyan Prefecture, and Liu Xing as the deputy deployment of Yangzhou Observation Envoy to Huanzhou with the deputy deployment of Qinfeng Road.

Zhao Zhen is a military general, quelled the southern barbarian rebellion, Jintang Li Qin and other three are difficult to control, Zhao Zhen and the chiefs of the three tribes made an appointment, drunk in a hundred steps away planting shot, Qin and other hundred shots missed, Zhao Zhen ten arrows through, Qin and other shocked, vow not to dare to commit again. He also pacified rebellions such as Qiang, Husa, and Song in Jingyuan, and made many contributions. When Yuan Hao was about to rebel, he used gold and silver crowns to wear Zhuqiang, and Zhao Zhenqian lured them with gold silk to break his momentum, won three thousand crowns and silver saddles, and hundreds of armor horses, and told neighboring states, and also notified Li Shibin and Fan Yong, asking them to be careful of Li Yuanhao's old tricks in Yanzhou. Fan Yong and Li Shibin didn't listen, so woe to them.

According to this resume, you can do it.

But as soon as this edict came out, some people immediately objected, Han Qi said, the former ministers of Yong'er Mansion did their best to do their best, and they were demoted to stay in Yong to calm the hearts of the people. In the past Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong did not defeat Xue Nebei in the north, but squandered Qinghai in white clothes, shame and courage, and made immortal achievements. Zhao Zhen is rough and brave, and he can be deployed for the sake of deployment. If Fan Yong is incompetent and incompetent, Fan Zhongyan will be summoned to appoint him. When His Majesty Fang was anxious, how could the minister dare to avoid saying anything, if it involves a friend, misleading the state affairs, and being a clan.

Fan Yong is still good, and the people on the border miss it, although there are mistakes, they are smaller than the mistakes made by Xue Ne when he conquered the Khitan, and later Xue Ne won a great victory in Tubo in white clothes. The so-called shame and courage. Your Majesty, lower his actual punishment and continue to let him know Yanzhou.

If you really think that Old Master Fan can't do it, then Little Master Fan will come. I am saying this for the sake of the country, and I have nothing to do with the friends, if I have the idea of friends, Your Majesty will punish my whole family.

Hearing this, Yan Rong said: "I know, Han Qi is a military general. ”

Chen Zhizhong said that until now, he was sipping tea to moisten his throat, and when he heard Yan Rong's words, a mouthful of tea squirted out.
